Reginald VelJohnson has responded to allegations that he was previously sexually involved with Sean “Diddy” Combs amid the rapper’s arrest for sex trafficking on Sept. 16.

“That’s all bulls–t,” the 72-year-old told TMZ during an outing in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.
“I don’t know that man,” VelJohnson, who is currently competing on Season 33 of “DWTS,” responded. “I’ve never met him before.”
The “Family Matters” alum sent Combs, 54, his well wishes despite the ongoing sex trafficking investigation against him.
VelJohnson told the reporter, “I wish him well, though,” before adding that those who continue the rumors need to “get a life.”
Just four months before Combs’ arrest, a video surfaced on X of comedian Luce Cannon alleging that VelJohnson had sex with the singer.
Cannon claimed that he was at a party thrown by Combs when he heard squealing coming from behind the door in one bedroom. “Somebody wearing this b–ch out!” he said in the clip.
Cannon alleged he knocked on the door to find VelJohnson with Combs.
“Busted the door and look up, and I see Carl Winslow,” shared the comedian.
VelJohnson played the character of Carl Winslow on “Family Matters” from 1989 to 1998. The ABC sitcom also starred Jaleel White, who played Steve Urkel.
Combs has been at the center of multiple allegations since he was arrested in New York City and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arraigned in a federal Manhattan courthouse the following day.

Combs’ arrest came six months after the feds raided his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami as part of the investigation into the alleged decades-long abuse.
The 14-page indictment paints the fallen mogul as the ringleader of a criminal enterprise that allowed him to allegedly abuse, threaten, and coerce women for years “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
“To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled — creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice,” the complaint says.

Combs would allegedly lure female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, often dayslong, sexual performances dubbed “Freak Offs,” the indictment charges.
According to the court papers, the women, who were lured in under the false pretense of a romantic relationship, would then be fed drugs in a bid to keep them “obedient and compliant.”
Combs would allegedly watch and masturbate during the “elaborate and produced sex performances,” which he would allegedly film to use as collateral against his victims.
